GUILDERLAND — Four people, believed to be two children and two adults, were
slain in a shocking quadruple homicide inside a small, pale green bungalow
at 1846 Western Ave. along a busy commercial stretch of the suburban town.
Guilderland police confirmed Wednesday afternoon that there were four
homicides. Neighbors said a Chinese family with three elementary-age
children lived at the home, but police have not released the ages, gender or
names of the victims.
Meanwhile, workers at a nearby Chinese restaurant mourned the victims as a
family of Chinese descent that they knew as regular customers.
"Terrible. Whole family killed," said C.C. Chen, an employee at King's Wok,
a Chinese takeout restaurant in the 20 Mall.
She said the owner of the restaurant, Kam Lo, who was also listed in legal
documents as the owner of 1846 Western Ave., about one mile west of
Crossgates Mall, was related to the victims and Lo and other relatives were
being interviewed at the Guilderland police station late Wednesday afternoon
.
"We just saw them yesterday," Chen said. "They always come to restaurant."
Investigators declined to discuss the details of the killings or speculate
on a motive. Authorities struggled with a language barrier as they continued
their investigation.
"It's very early in the investigation," said Guilderland Capt. Curtis Cox.
Curious neighbors gathered outside their homes. One neighbor, who asked not
to be identified, said police described the killings as executions.
Investigators from Guilderland and State Police gathered on the lawn of the
home Wednesday afternoon waiting for a search warrant to enter the house. A
large town police command center mobile home was parked with several police
cars at the crime scene, which was surrounded by yellow police tape. One
lane of eastbound Western Avenue was shut down for several blocks around the
crime scene, causing a long traffic backup.
Albany County District Attorney David Soares was at the scene and conferred
with Guilderland Police Chief Carol Lawlor.
Farnsworth Middle School and Guilderland and Westmere elementary schools
were locked down for about 30 minutes "out of an abundance of caution," said
Marie Wiles, superintendent of the Guilderland school district.
There was no indication that students were in danger or that a suspect in
the killing was in the area and most of the students, faculty and staff had
already been dismissed when the 4 p.m. lockdown was put in place, Wiles said
. But there were youngsters in an after-school program run by the YMCA at
both elementary schools and athletic events underway at Farnsworth, Wiles
said.
Wiles has been in touch with police, but has not been informed of the names
of the victims and is therefore uncertain if any Guilderland school students
were involved. "We will wait to hear from the police," she said. If the
victims were Guilderland students, crisis teams will be in place in the
schools Thursday for students who seek grief counseling.
Neighbor Rosalyn Kowalski said she arrived home from a visit to the
hairdresser around 2:15 p.m. and found her driveway blocked by police
cruisers. She said a child, possibly one of the boys that lived in the home,
was outside the home rocking back and forth and pounding the ground with
his fist.
Kowalski said someone came and wrapped the child in a yellow blanket and
took the child away. Kowalski said a girl around 7 years old and two boys
between ages 10 and 12 lived there. She said the family moved in about two
years ago.
Police also cordoned off 1848 Western Avenue, a gray house next to the
homicide scene where several Chinese students lived.
Police interviewed neighbors and asked if they saw anyone they didn't
recognize at either house on Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Kowalski
said she neither saw nor heard anything unusual.
State Police Lt. Don Williams said investigators were bringing in a
Cantonese interpreter to interview people.
Guilderland police received a call asking for medical help at the house
around 2 p.m., Cox said. From the caller's description, Cox said police knew
it was a bad scene.
Neighbor Melissa McGrath said people came and went from the home at all
hours. McGrath thought it might be extended family that lived at the home.
Kowalski and her husband,Thomas, said the family was quiet and "minded their
own business." The adults did not speak English well, but the children, who
sometimes played in the Kowalski's backyard, did speak English and attended
local schools.
"Oh, my God," said Kevin Slattery, a certified financial planner who has
owned a commercial building directly across Western from the crime scene
sine 1999. He saw the police investigation and learned of the killings from
a reporter after he returned from an afternoon workout.
Slattery was surprised to encounter an Asian man in a kitchen worker's white
apron jaywalking across busy Western Avenue toward the house where the
homicides occurred as he pulled his car out of the parking lot at about 2 p.
m. "It was strange because he gave me a dirty look," Slattery said.
"I haven't seen anything unusual at that house," he said, although he has
noticed an increase in people of Asian descent in the neighborhood in recent
months. "This neighborhood isn't really transient. It's a quiet stretch
with long-time residents and business owners."
"They were a very quiet family and kept to themselves," said Sandra Crounse,
who has lived across the street from the homicide scene for 26 years. She
said the family of two adults, a teenage boy and elementary school-age girl
had lived in the house for several years.
The killings took place along a cluster of several similar post-war
bungalows with attached garages just west of Johnston Road in the Westmere
neighborhood of the suburban town. Nearby landmarks are Athos restaurant and
Stewart's Shop at Gipp Road. | T*********I
